Allen III and Gary L. Rivers forcibly entered the home intending to rob Cossitt. During the robbery Casey’s girlfriend, Dawn Bollinger, fired shots from behind a bedroom door while trying to protect herself and their infant daughter. Casey was struck in the chest and died from the gunfire.

Court outcomes reported following the crime state Allen pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter with a gun specification, attempted murder and aggravated burglary and was sentenced to 22 years. Rivers pleaded guilty to murder with a gun specification and received life with no chance of parole for 18 years. Melissa Hunt, who drove Rivers and Allen, was sentenced to 10 years for her role.
